Well there goes another season. This is the season ending edition of our newsletter. It was a very unusual summer on our lake. The weather could have been better, but most association members seemed to take maximum advantage of those precious good days. On the fanwort front, the results of our drawdown last winter were mixed. We seemed to control the “edges” and some of the fanwort in the thickest area but continued to see a fairly good amount in the heaviest areas from last year. Our best treatment plan for the indefinite future continues to be maximum drawdown to expose the fanwort to the coldest elements. We are in the process of taking a detailed well survey of each lake property to determine any properties that might be effected as we deepen the drawdown each year. Please cooperate and fill out the survey for our files. This year we spent some $20,000 on weed treatment and weed pulling with some reasonable success. Latest news on the new dam is that we are contracted for the new stainless steel gate valve to be installed in mid-November. This project will only minimal funds from our treasury and promises to be the single most significant accomplishment of our association that will “outlive” all of us. Thanks again to Representative Jennifer Callahan for her support. On the social front, virtually all the events this summer were a great success. The boat parade was great and can be previewed on “YouTube”. The rafting party was the best ever with lots of new members attending. We had as many as 15 boats at one point. The last event was the annual meeting which was well attended. In this newsletter, you will see listed all of this year’s officers and board members. I would like to thank all that have served and helped our association. See you around the lake.
